A lytic bacteriophage, BAU.Micro_SLP-22, was isolated from drain water in search of bio-controlling agents against avian salmonellosis. The phage genome is comprised of 59,738 bp with 56.96% guanine-cytosine content, encoding 81 protein-coding genes containing no transfer RNAs, antibiotic resistance, virulence, temperate marker, and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat coding sequences.
